Hi Peter >Similar to Sean Empey's offer I can easily give CTF a new home if ever it >becomes necessary, and I am ready and willing to do it. i wish Steve would let you OR Sean host the CTF honestly i can't understand why Steve clings to the CTF with such fervor it has nothing to do with computer chess or even chess for that matter(seldom is a thread seen even remotely related to chess) i could understand the need for a sister board if the purpose was to talk about any subject related to chess(not just chess computers) i am a member of another site which is devoted to dedicated chess computer's and i post on several other sites whose focus is mainly chess computers. none of these sites have a satellite board which serves as a release valve for members to rant and rave on and the overwhelming number of posts are on topic. people tend to stay on topic on those sites, because for the most part they are adults that share a common interest. on the rare occassion where a posting is way off topic the moderators are swift to intervene. you never see the vile language,anti-semetism and neo-nazi postings seen on the CTF.(not to mention pro-alkeida,anti-US ,anti -Israel etc etc)seen daily on the CTF even discussions related to ones faith(Christianity,Muslim,Jewish,etc)generally degenerate into a screaming ,cursing ,slug fest its simply disgusting again i will mention that there are a small few who do attempt to post well reasoned,informative messages and will reply to a message in an adult fashion sadly this is the exception rather then the rule its like trying to discuss Bach or Mozart while in the middle of a Neo -Nazi rally this need to be linked up with the CTF is quite astonishing in my opinion and i guess i just dont get it Best Steve > >I hope my statement will help people to concentrate on the question instead, if >they are willing to support the CCC for the many hours of fun and enlightenment >it gave to them. CTF is a sidekick, that is fun for some - they will deal with >their expenses on their own though. > >Thanks for listening, >Peter
